The simplest way to use your iPhone or iPad as a secondary display for your Mac/PC. SpaceCast Display streams your Mac/PC screen to your iPhone or iPad via Wi-Fi or USB cable. Unlike Sidecar, it can connect devices with different Apple accounts, allowing for various combinations such as your own Mac/PC with a company-issued iPad or a family member's iPhone. On a foldable iPhone (iPhone Duo), just fold it halfway: the upper screen shows your Mac/PC and the lower screen becomes a keyboard and trackpad, like a tiny laptop. ---------------------------------- ■ Main Features ---------------------------------- 【Features Available for Free】 ・Real-time display of your Mac/PC screen on iPhone or iPad (first 10 minutes) ・Connection via Wi-Fi (Mac App Store version and official website version) or USB cable (official website version only for Mac) ・Automatic detection of nearby Macs/PCs and one-tap connection ・Secure pairing with a 6-digit PIN ・Automatic reconnection to previously paired Macs/PCs ・Adapts automatically when you fold or unfold a foldable iPhone 【SpaceCast Pro (One-time Purchase)】 ・Direct control of your Mac/PC with touch — Tap: Left click — Two-finger tap: Right click — Long press: Right click — Two-finger scroll — Pinch: Zoom in/out — Three-finger swipe: Mission Control / Space switching ・Laptop mode (foldable iPhone): fold it halfway to show your Mac/PC on top and a keyboard and trackpad below ・On-screen Mac keyboard: show it on any iPhone or iPad with one button.
